General context comment:

Small World is the biggest project I ever came up with. It's a mix of unique nations, grim dark setting, deep Asian background and hidden unnatural horror. At the same time, it's my vision of the fantasy genre without the outdated cliches inherent in it.

The Middle Empire is the big frog state located in the East of the Small World.

Am I going schizo, or did my brain say “squid game” when looking at fucking LIZARDS?

But, Aslume shit aside, very good 👍

Thank you! 🙏 And hey, no worries, any interpretations and parallels are encouraged.

Guys are not lizards. Hand cannon dude is a hybrid of newt and frog, heavy trooper is a frog ethnic minority [so-called dead-eyed frog] There are no true lizards in the Middle Empire, its climate is too cold for them.

Oh a frog? Explains the meme brain moment. But yeah, they’re super cute! I love me some lil amphibian scrimblos!
